I Like Eels

Review Score: (8/10)
The first time I listened to 'Daisies of the Galaxy', I was very impressed. After the second spin I realised what a great album this is. Eel's comic study of life's painful and joyous moments are again evident on their third record. They've ditched the morose mood of their previous LP 'Electro-Shock Blues' though. Regardless of whether you hum along to these songs or not, the sad and introspective nature of Eels music is still here. My favourites are 'I Like Birds,' 'Wooden Nickels' and 'Something Is Sacred.' All the songs are quite good, with the exception of 'Real Estate'. Despite this not being a 5 star review I highly recommend 'Daisies of the Galaxy.'
